I think the thing that snags most people is they automatically assume that the words in the Bible have to be ALL from Jesus and not from an Emporer named Constantinople claiming to be words spoken by Jesus. How would they know. The sheep unquestionably accept that, and I think that's scary. That people are that open to manipulation.
I would follow Jesus straight into fire if he was standing in front of me, but I refuse to blindly accept anything as fact that comes from altered Texts that were not written by Jesus himself, and how much in fact of it has not been altered and skewed and manipulated in the early days of the Church is open to intense debate. Who wrote the Bible anyway, assuming for a minute it's unadulterated...it wasn't Jesus.
The biggest admission that these methods are not simply innocent innovation,imagination based or some kind of mind over matter is the use of spirit guides. This is not just accusatory of modern Christian Apologists but strictly warned about in Scripture. That is why Christians identify these practices as evil. A good guide point is just observing where one puts their faith.
John Hunt's definition of sorcery is funny. According to his standards - imagination,artistic creation, engineering and other creative pursuits could be considered sorcery. The Bible doesn't clearly define human capacity at all, so this allows every Christian apologist to set up their own subjective standards for what is acceptable or unacceptable. This is highly unreliable. Many apologists believe in miracles, divine intervention, God speaking to them, angels etc
@jimboedwardlee Yet these Christian apologists who often live in a totally fantastic World of good spirits & evil spirits, guardian angels etc - cannot concede and inch to anyone else's viewpoint of the unseen & spirit world.
Thoughts and Emotions are not necessary tangible and the concept of mind - is open to new interpretation by physicists - So when Hunt talks- about mind over matter -- What does he think the process of thinking is? Hunt is irrational and in a state of denial
@jimboedwardlee Hunt and many like him try to control the conversation by defining anything other than their subjective interpretation of the scriptures as evil. Hunt would have a hard time describing human imagination without that definition running afoul of his definition of sorcery.
And this is to all of you. YOU CANNOT BE A CHRISTIAN AND INVOLVE YOURSELF IN THINGS THAT ARE CONTRARY TO THE WORD OF GOD. AND IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN THEN YOU KNOW THE WORD OF GOD (THE BIBLE). IF YOU ARE INVOLVE IN ANYTHING THAT IS CONTRARY TO THAT... THEN YOU ARE NOT, I REPEAT YOU ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN AND THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT IN YOU. GOD IS NOT IN YOU. JOSE SILVA IS NOT, I REPEAT, IS NOT OF GOD. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME READ THE BIBLE AND SEE IF HIS TEACHINGS LINE UP WITH IT.
Silva's method is proving itself valuable to real problem-solvers. Bible study does not teach a method as effective for solving real problems. All the dogmatic religions divert both children and adults from the practical problems of humanity living in tune with nature's reality. Humanity continues neglecting nature's reality as they focus on fantasies and continually destroy the biosphere. The revolution to human sanity is yet to come. Folks can use Silva method to help solve this problem!!

Why is it that religion wants to control everything we do? It disempowers instead of empowers. It seperates us. More people have been killed in the name of the right religion and the worship of the right God. Think about it, the crusades, the spanish inqusitions, and the Salem which trials, just to name a few.
@CaniPaul1 World religions want to expand to control the masses and get their MONEY! It's all about MONEY and CONTROL! Wake up and open your eyes people! Study it, especially the origins of the great world religions.
@Grouchomatic49 Hindus believe in many gods, Buddhists claim that we are god. Muslims say they believe in the same god as Christians and Jews yet deny the divinity of Yahshua/Jesus as the one and only begotten son of god. So it really doesn't matter that you believe in God. Even Satan cannot deny God or the divinity of God's son. All Satan can do is throw confusion and debate upon the whole matter. That is what Mr. Silva is doing unknowingly, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
@booger700 I don't "follow" Jose Silva like some sort of deity, I took the basic course and have used it extensively to help others through my own Alternative Health business and am proud to say I've cured people of MRSA when their regular Drs and Specialists couldn't. Am I going to hell for that?
@Grouchomatic49 I did not say YOU are going to hell. I said the road to hell is paved with good intentions. You cannot pick and choose bits and pieces that you like from every religion and make up your own religion based on that. Not saying that's what YOU have done but a lot of these teachers now days like Jose Silva have done exactly that. New Age bullshit. You especially cannot mix mystical eastern influenced crap with the true word of God. That is an abomination no matter how many it helps.
@Grouchomatic49 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." So unless Jesus is your personal savior then no, you're soul is not okay. The Unity church is just as dangerous as the New Age Movement because it teaches that it doesn't matter what god you believe in, that they are all the same one and that we are all headed to the same place. That is a lie. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER BUT THROUGH THE SON. That is THE ONLY WAY.
@booger700 I see, well thanks for all the info, you may want to check with your Doc about adjusting your ADD meds. If you haven't been diagnosed with ADD, I'd strongly advise that you get tested.
@Grouchomatic49 Yeah? How do you figure that? A.D.D. stands for attention deficit disorder. I haven't lapsed in paying attention to everything you have said. What is the basis for you to have said that in response to what I have said. I do not understand your logic. I simply warned you of the dangers of ecumenicism which is what the unity church embraces and the basis of the New Age Movement. The Unity Church is Apostate. Jesus is the only way to the Father. These are simple statements.
@booger700 ADD is not just someone zoning out and appearing catatonic. There are also impulsive symptoms such as blurting out rude or inappropriate thoughts (see your homepage with all the profanity...or on this page for that matter). Theres also emotional difficulties like hypersensitivity to criticism, low self esteem as well as a short, explosive temper. Since you exhibit these symptoms in a pronounced way, you reallly should get checked out.
@Grouchomatic49 Maybe I do have ADD but even if I do that does not make any of my statements unreliable or untrue in any way what so ever. It is an old tactic when some one wants to avoid a topic that makes them uncomfortable they will change the subject. You are clearly uncomfortable with me using the Word of God to in-substantiate your claims of being a Christian and yet embracing the Silva Mind Control method. The two are clearly incompatible with one another. Read the bible and see.
@booger700 Unfortunately, the only thing you've insubstantiated is your own claim of being a "Christian". You haven't proved to any degree that "Jose Silva is an evil man" and what he teaches is, "new age bullshit". Furthermore, (and tragically) your liberal use of obscenities to make your point only reflects the hypocrisy and narrowness of your own Christian education.
@Grouchomatic49 No. You are dead wrong. I am a Christian and that's why when I see lies and heresies that go against my God I am zealously against them. I may go about it in the wrong way but if you think that because someone is a Christian that they are automatically perfect and never curse, never make mistakes or say things in haste then YOU ARE WRONG YET AGAIN. Just because I used vulgar words or curse words DOES NOT MEAN I AM NOT A CHRISTIAN. If you think that then you ARE TRULY AN IDIOT.
@Grouchomatic49 Hindus believe in many gods, Buddhists claim that we are god.

That is what Mr. Silva is doing unknowingly, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
sectarianist- the bald guy just doesnt get it. the point of everything isnt the face its message. the message is to get in touch with god- psychically and then you will understand what jesus talked about so you can do it yourself THROUGH understanding that god is there and you are one of his children. not to have a control issue and change matter for yourself. silva method relieves you of that ego control issue so god can work through you! the kingdom of god is within you and comes through you
YOU ARE WRONG! The only way to get in touch with God is through His Son Jesus Christ. Any other way is a lie. And these aren't good spirits you are getting in contact with... they are demons.
Mr. Silva has a lot of his own definitions (which are quite different than the standard understanding) for things (Gnosticism). Anything miraculous done by saints are according to God's Will (not our own fallen, lustful desires). St. Paul (who did many miracles) prayed God to deliver him from an affliction and was told that this was not God's Will and that he was given this to gain humility (2 Corinthians 12:7-9).
Anyone who says mind control, sorcery, witchcraft etc. are 'Satan's creation' is a liar who knows and understands *nothing*. These powers are given to all who wish to train and they are a human birthright.
Many christians have always practiced this kind of thing and many still do. See Corinthians 12:8-10 and Acts 1:23-26.
Many Christian saints began life as pagan gods. They were always used to perform magic just as the gods had been, and moreover they still are -- see Santeria for example.
There are many Christian divination systems equivalent to tarot from throughout history eg. the Lots of Astrampsychus.
For over a thousand years after Christ there was a HUGE tradition of Christian magic for healing, weather, luck and success. It included astrology. There are still people who practice that way eg. the Pennsylvania hexenmeisters.
We haven't even mentioned the Martinists, the Rosicrucians, the Christian Scientists, the Christian Wiccans... they *all* practice similar things.
Most of the Christian anti-magic sentiment came as a result of WITCH HUNTING and the SPANISH INQUISITION which were amonst the most evil times the human race had seen and punished many innocents based on false confession extracted thru torture.
If you want to talk about magic and Christianity, do your research. There is nothing wrong with mixing the two if you want to do so, and Silva is amongst the most interesting ways to train.
Only someone ignorant would believe what Hunt says.
I stay in the red when i read the bible. I believe IN Jesus. Not the story manufactured around him. We are all giving the power to go beyond this world.
u fools still believe in a religion.. ?? how dumb r u guys...i bet all the kids around 23 years old understand that there is no religion and there is good and bad.. therefore i dont care about the jesus story thats been manafactured for years...for peoples own benefit...chris is just like me but more evolve thats it all in due time...if i act out of love and care for others..i'ma make it also
I totally agree with you. The old vs. the Young. Racism wouldnt exist if I didnt know about it through texts and people that had feelings with it. The discovery of Nag Hammadi Library shiows that the catholic church edited the texts of the bible for themselves. I know we are not alone in the universe and we are living unsustainbly. We give power to a peice of paper. Fuck that. I feel like i have unlimited potential. quantum physics proves that. You Wake Up.
this is abominable as stated dozens of times throughout the bible. this whole mind control garbage is satan's creation, the bible shows us God>Jesus>Man>Women&Child. Not Man>God>Jesus>Women&Children why would God warn us so many times to stay away from witchcraft? it is satanic deception. were here to glorify God and follow his Will, not our own. satan can heal too btw. the bible is the true (word of God) and the word is the sword, and dave cuts silva pretty good with it.
Also the silva method has helped people for years become better people...what is so bad about that...jesus has nothing to do with what is inside us...open minded vs the closed off minded....I know who's side I'm on.
Wow.. you are all missing the point. Dave Hunt is trying to say that Jesus used the power of God yet mere humans cannot. This goes completely against what Jesus claims when he says I am one with the Father just as You and I are also one. You are all missing the point. You're all falling for the fearful approach.
Silva's #1 target is of course the young people who will in their turn transmit, generation by generation, Silva's teaching which is: "You don't need God. You can be your own god!"
@dazeycutr As do all good manipulative and highly intelligent apologists, right or wrong, usually wrong. This is so silly. Lets stay in the dark ages and crucify those who wish to further human potential. Dave Hunt juxtaposes the miracles of Jesus with somebody using their mind...God created these minds, leaving God given abilities dormant makes you holy but learning to use them is sin? What a twist of logic. Perhaps Jesus called it the Spirit and Jose calls it something else, changes nothing.
Silva mind control is simply an age old Occult technique.
if you participate in these practices you will destroy your life unless the Lord have mercy on you.
Silva mind control is simply putting yourself into a trance which opens one up to the spirit realm, thus the practitioner will be exposing themselves to demons.
i Warn everyone do Not ever participate in this deceptive Occult practices they will lead you to the pit & wreck you life here on earth as well.
XjayX& you sound so silly...my life has become much better since I started the silva mind method...all it is...is a form of meditation..my mother was a teacher at the first silva school...she has had a wonderful life and still does...I think you should research a bit more before you shit on something so easily...peace!
Remember it is the Basis of all other similar cults especially the POSITIVE CONFESSION movement. One thing Chilled me in this Debate when Jose Silva said Negative comments are the Problem. And he meant those negative spiritual comments the Word of God speaks against. Accountability to For Your personal sin against God and Accountability to the Fruits of Good Teaching following preaching the words of JESUS.
@butterflie2484 Its not a cult Butterflie, I took the course 10 years ago and have benefitted greatly from it. I haven't had problems with "demons" nor do I deny God's existance. I've used Silva to start my own alternative health business and have helped dozens of sick people to become well with it.
@butterflie2484 Dave Hunt should take his stupid fear-based cult, and shove it up his ass
Conflicts himself so many times, it's not even funny.
He even quotes the following passage, and then trips up halfway realizing that he's wrong! LOL
John 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
The Father that dwelleth within...gee this guy wouldn't know a dose of reality if it hit him upside the head with a Mack truck. Is he really that blind to see? The Truth is sitting there, staring right at him, waiting for him to acknowledge it...and STILL he can't figure it out. Seems impossible to add two-and-two together!! Isn't it plainly obvious? He must be in denial. Too deep to even be able to decipher what Jesus' own words mean. (And he calls himself an expert.... Simply aammaazzing!!!
I think the thing that snags most people is they automatically assume that the words in the Bible have to be ALL from Jesus and not from an Emporer named Constantinople claiming to be words spoken by Jesus. How would they know. The sheep unquestionably accept that, and I think that's scary. That people are that open to manipulation.

Lets stay in the dark ages and crucify those who wish to further human potential. Dave Hunt juxtaposes the miracles of Jesus with somebody using their mind...God created these minds, leaving God given abilities dormant makes you holy but learning to use them is sin? What a twist of logic. Perhaps Jesus called it the Spirit and Jose calls it something else, changes nothing.

Silva mind control is simply an age old Occult technique.
if you participate in these practices you will destroy your life unless the Lord have mercy on you.
Silva mind control is simply putting yourself into a trance which opens one up to the spirit realm, thus the practitioner will be exposing themselves to demons.
i Warn everyone do Not ever participate in this deceptive Occult practices they will lead you to the pit & wreck you life here on earth as well.

Remember it is the Basis of all other similar cults especially the POSITIVE CONFESSION movement. One thing Chilled me in this Debate when Jose Silva said Negative comments are the Problem. And he meant those negative spiritual comments the Word of God speaks against. Accountability to For Your personal sin against God and Accountability to the Fruits of Good Teaching following preaching the words of JESUS.

So.... preaching the words of Jesus would be self-damning?

@SKYSPLASH Jose Silva was a great man and teacher and did far more good to humanity then religious fanatics.

@butterflie2484 Its not a cult Butterflie, I took the course 10 years ago and have benefitted greatly from it. I haven't had problems with "demons" nor do I deny God's existance. I've used Silva to start my own alternative health business and have helped dozens of sick people to become well with it.

@butterflie2484 Dave Hunt should take his stupid fear-based cult, and shove it up his ass
Conflicts himself so many times, it's not even funny.
He even quotes the following passage, and then trips up halfway realizing that he's wrong! LOL
John 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

The Father that dwelleth within...gee this guy wouldn't know a dose of reality if it hit him upside the head with a Mack truck. Is he really that blind to see? The Truth is sitting there, staring right at him, waiting for him to acknowledge it...and STILL he can't figure it out. Seems impossible to add two-and-two together!! Isn't it plainly obvious? He must be in denial. Too deep to even be able to decipher what Jesus' own words mean. (And he calls himself an expert.... Simply aammaazzing!!!
